Summary: DLINK DCS-900 DID NOT WORK POOR TECH SUPPORT
Review: 15 MINS TO SET UP 5 HOURS WITH TECH SUPPORT, NEEDLESS TO SAY CAMERA DID NOT WORK WHEN TRING TO VIEW IT FROM THE WEB AT A REMOTE LOCATION. TECH SUPPORT TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT TRAINED ON THIS CAMERA, THAT IT WAS TO NEW, AND HAD ME DO EVERYTHING BUT MAKE IT WORK. THEY HAD ME UPGRADE MY DI624'S FIRMWARE PING THE NET AND JUST RUN ME AROUND WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUT. DLINK HAD NO CLUE AND NO ONE TO HELP ME. AM CALLING CORPORATE BUT NO ONES HOME.
BY THE WAY I AM USING COMCAST (ATTBI) CABLE AS MY ISP MAYBE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BUT THEY SAY NO.

Summary: Got it working with Linksys Router!
Review: 3.5 lux camera not good enough for night ops and the instructions for router setup are for D-Link routers!!
I have a linksys router and finally got it working. Make sure you do the PORT FORWARDING of 80 and 8421 to the camera's 192.168.1.2x address. On the camera, make sure the gateway is the router's address of 192.168.1.1. If you are using a firewall like zonealarm, make sure that external address is in the TRUSTED ZONE list.
The user interface is slooow and sometimes buggy! For example, the camera will hang if I change IP addresses on it. You'd have to run the setup wizard again.

Summary: Hard to beat for low cost , but the image quality....
Review: I bought this camera primaily due to low cost (...) and wireless connectivity. I also use an AXIS 2100 network camera since several years, but needed a wireless camera as well. The D-Link works as advertised and got it up and working with my WiFi router, but I don't know why its image quality is so lousy. I called support, but the said this is what to expect for indoor lighting. As a comparison, the AXIS 2100 camera has a significantly better image quality, so it can be done, but I guess D-Link isn't really famous for cameras. I ended up sending back the D-Link, the new wireless AXIS camera is what I'm waiting for.

Summary: Excellent Camera, easy to set up
Review: I don't know what the previous reviewer got, because this camera took 5 mins to plug into my network and start working. It couldn't have been easier and the picture is excellent. I'm amazed at it's ability to get a decent picture in low light. I have a linksys router and I was easily able to poke a hole in it so family and friends can see the camera from anywhere on the internet.

Summary: Not the one i want
Review: I have bought this camera for test purpose. For I have been doing research on the IP Camera market by testing all the Network Cameras.
But I observed most of the network camera I have played with have poor quality under low light condition. After I tried, this Axis 205 one has same low light issue too.
So with this price and the feature they offer, I would not suggest buying it. I know other network cameras with same quality and feature have better price to offer.
Recently I just found out one network camera named IP Camera 8000 from tlcstream.com (if you search Google with keyword ¡®IP Camera¡¯). This network camera has a lot more features than Axis 205 has. It has motion detect, email and ftp notification, more frequency and more resolution options, two level security authorization with more feature built-in. It also supports MSN and Yahoo messenger by acting as webcam. And the price to get is $99. I would suggest people to try this incredible deal -- better price with better quality.

Summary: Great camera - great price - good software
Review: I have two of these and they have been working great for about 2 months. Getting them setup is a little goofy (I think D-Link should default to DHCP not some hard-coded address). You cannot beat the price/performance of these guys.The IPView software that is provided really kicks these things up a level. I am able to have my screen split into 4 parts to show up to 4 cameras at once. You can also access each camera via a web browser (passwd protection, java or active-x, ability to ftp images, etc) I HIGHLY reccomend these cameras. I have used Axis products in the past - and yes the image on the Axis is better - but the price was 20 times higher also.

Summary: Image quality won't do
Review: I've been going through webcams trying to find one that works well, is network ready and costs less than $300. The D-Link DCS-900 does work but the automatic brightness control is constantly changing the picture brightness. It's fine if you're just looking at the picture but when you use a motion sensing capture program, you constantly get false motion triggers. Doesn't work for me.

Summary: waste of TIME and MONEY
Review: On my 3rd one, Tsch support told me the first two were defective. Now 3rd doesn't work either. 3 computers, 2 different routers, 3 different cameras. I regret ever buying this camera!

Summary: pretty good
Review: Set up was simple, didn't use their software. If you know a little about networking it's easy. If you don't you may have a hard time.
The jpg is at "192.168.0.20/image.jpg (default)" which may help somebody. Over all I'd say it had a good picture and was worth the money.
